[Verse 1]
I got on my cowboy boots, jeans, and Hawaiian shirt
Mirrored sunglasses and a mobile phone
I guess I look like some Port Aransas dope dealer
Who's out on bail, just tryin' to get home
Well I ain't in jail and I got me a guitar
I got a little band that's hotter than a rocket
And sometimes we're sloppy, we're always loud
Tonight we're just ornery and locked in the pocket
[Chorus]
So screw you, we're from Texas
Screw you, we're from Texas
Screw you, we're from Texas
We're from Texas, baby, screw you
[Verse 2]
Now I love the USA
And all the other states, yeah, they're okay
But Texas is the place I wanna be
And I'll prob'ly never get a gig in Delaware anyway
'Cause we got Stubbs, and Gruene Hall, and Antone's
And John T. Floore's Country Store
We got Willie, Ray Wylie, Rodney, and Joe Ely
Jack, Lyle, and Robert Earl
Hey, we got Bruce and Kelly, and Randy and Wade
Kristofferson and Kacy Musgraves
Hell, we got Sunny Sweeney and Flaco Jiménez
Leon Bridges, Erykah Badu, and Beyoncé
[Chorus]
So screw you, we're from Texas
Screw you, we're from Texas
Screw you, we're from Texas
We're from Texas, screw you
All y'all sing -- screw you, we're from Texas
Screw you, we're from Texas
Screw you, we're from Texas
We're from Texas, screw you!
[Verse 3]
Now Texas has gotten a bad reputation
Because of what happened in Dallas and Waco
And our corporations, well, they are corrupt
And the politicians are swindlers and loco
But when it comes to music, my friend
I believe these words are as true as St. John the Revelator's
Stevie Ray Vaughan was the best that there ever was
And no band was cooler than The 13th Floor Elevators
[Chorus]
So screw you, we're from Texas
Screw you, we're from Texas
Screw you, we're from Texas
We're from Texas, screw you
Screw you, we're from Texas
Screw you, we're from Texas
Screw you, we're from Texas
We're from Texas, screw you
Screw you, we're from Texas
Screw you, we're from Texas
Screw you, we're from Texas
We're from Texas, screw you
We're from Texas, screw you
